Does everybody credit the author when using Stack Overflow code? I have, but don't always. Not that I'm trying to steal, I just don't take the time, especially in personal projects. This isn't exactly the same thing, but it seems to me that three of the biggest differences are: 1. Stack Overflow code is posted for people to use it (fair enough, but they do have a license that requires attribution anyway, so that's not an escape) 2. Scale (true; but is it a fundamental difference?) 3. People are paying attention in this case. Nobody is scanning my old code, or yours, but if they did, would they have a case? I dunno. I'm more sympathetic to visual artists who have their work slurped up to be recapitulated as someone else's work via text to image models. Code, especially if it is posted publicly, doesn't feel like it needs to be guarded. I'm not saying this is correct, just saying that's my reaction, and I wonder why it's wrong.
